Speculation: Roster Building thread - Part XVII - (TDL is March 7th)

[McRanger92]

I like Smith as a player, but trading him is na obvious move. He should fetch a decent haul.

I see it being a 2nd they look to flip for a player they like as a long term solution.

 

[LOFIN]

Just as I predicted

I appreciate Drury for making the right call on selling. I didn't think he would, I was certain he was going to buy.

I really like those lines just from a freshness perspective. We’ve gotten a lot younger quickly.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Dont have to be a genius to understand that this means Smith is a goner

 

[Chytilmania]

I'm surprised you all have given up on the Laf+ for Tkachuk idea.

It's one of my personal favorites.

I’m all aboard. We can’t have a lazy guy who decides when he wants to show up. Or stops when he gets paid.

 

[pld459666]

Hy are people putting Frederick in? The guy had one good year. We can do better or just not spend that money on a player who should be on the 4th line

Hes a 3rd/4th line plug that will be looking for Goodrow money or more.

Pass.

 

[E-Train]

Sykora should be next up if they need another F post deadline. About to finish his 2nd full season in the A, improved scoring pace, wheels, tenacity, all before turning 21

He has pretty good hands but that’s about it.

NYR need forwards like him who can actually receive outlet passes on the backhand in the neutral zone. But he doesn’t have speed, grit, nor does he mesh well with any of our stars.

It was a bit of a peculiar rental trade to start. Hopefully they can get back what they gave for him. In the meantime I hope we give more time to Berard and Oth

The ONE thing that would be exciting for me would be some youngsters getting some legitimate ice time down the stretch here.

I don’t know man. Look at last game. Do you really think Lavi is going to give them more than like 5 minutes?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Like the fact that Drury is getting out in front of D Day. Seems like in the past, our plan B and C options were no longer available when the grand plan failed.

After Smith goes we’ll see what happens with Jones, if Domingue has any value, and whether one of Krieder or Pan go now or in the offseason.

Yeaaaaah very true. Shouldn't get my hopes up at all.

IMO we would have heard by now if Panarin was even a small possibility for the deadline.

Players like that don’t usually get moved without significant preceding rumors

FLA needs sone depth G bad

 

[Chytilmania]

We aren't scoring at the same clip as last year, but we're still over 3 goals/game. The issue is we are giving up way more goals than last season. This is with Panarin, Mika, Kreider, Trocheck, Fox, Laf all drastically underperforming offensively.

Theoretically if Igor gets his head out of his ass, fire Housley and the coaching staff, we should be able to ice a playoff team. No Lindgren. Whoever out of the above is still here HAS to be better, right? Then Cuylle, Othmann, Berard, Edstrom, Gabe should provide plenty of energy and upside to this team.

If one of Panarin, Mika or Kreider gets moved for a LD then we may be in an even better position.

 

[E-Train]

IMO we would have heard by now if Panarin was even a small possibility for the deadline.

I’m pretty sure the Gaborik move came about with no preceding rumors. I don’t think Panarin will get moved this week but it’s still a possibility

 

[GAGLine]

Agreed. Panarin has the NMC, so if he gets traded, we probably won't know about it until it happens.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Trading Carrick seems like a move just to make a move

He’s signed for nothing for the next two years, has been solid as the 4C. I guess you could move him for a mid round pick but what’s the point

I know he is not a glorious 30 goal guy but Carrick has been a pretty solid signing. I'm okay trading him for the right price but he has been a bit better than I expected.

 

[bigdog16]

Pass.

I think he would be a useless add. But he has more points than Kakko over the past 2 seasons. Definitely not a plug

Smart too, seems like the sellers who get out first get the better hauls. As it gets to the trade deadline date the buyers start getting the bargins.

 

[rangers1314]

How many retention spots do nyr have left? 2?

Not a high bar.

Trent is being pushed up the line up there in beantown, not because he earned it

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

That's the right PP1 with this roster. I'm out of excuses for #13. He's had opportunities this season to prove he should be on PP1 and he's let all of them slide through his fingers. That's on him.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I appreciate Drury for making the right call on selling. I didn't think he would, I was certain he was going to buy.

He may do both.

I’m relieved that he’s at least doing the bare minimum with the UFAs though.

Would love a Panarin move before Friday.

Earlier in the season I'd argue he'd earned it. At this point though, he's un-earning it again
